Poor usage of the Parents Guide on Alice the X musical version (1976)
In the Parents Guide for [tt0074113] I found four types of problems that, in my opinion, are in contradiction with several IMDb rules, as well with the writing law that one shall be as concise and accurate as possible.
1) There are 4 entries for the R version:
R: For sequences of Strong Sexual content, Graphic nudity, Gore and for Strong language.
R: Strong Graphic Sex Scenes with Graphic nudity, Gore and for Strong language.
R: Strong Sexuality, nudity, violence, Gore and for Strong language.
R: Strong Sexual content, Graphic nudity, Gore and for Strong language throughout.
These four should be deleted and substituted by a single entry:
R: Strong sexual content and full male and female nudity.
The reference to Gore is both out of it's proper section (Violence and gore) and a blatant lie for either R or X versions.
The reference to Strong language is also out of it's section (Profanity) and a lie for either R or X versions.
2) There are 2 entries to be deleted:
- This movie is nearly 50 years old so the quality is poor making much of the nudity blurry and unclear.
The film's age is a matter for the Year of Release section. The quality Rating (as good or bad) has nothing to do with the Parental Guidelines. The User who entered this did not understood that what he took for blurred cinematography was intentional, as optical effects.
- This is a pornographic movie.
This is not a parental guidance, this is a Movie Genre classification, where it is already. The movie is certainly Adult, but is far from pornographic - and I've seen both R and X versions of it.
3) There are 3 or 4 entries with some redundancies - but the above are enough for now.
The film is so funny, that I don't understand how some people may consider it as evil material for Adults. Do they not watch public television at all, in the open channels?

None of the items in 1) and 2) above belong there. I have deleted them (I'm another user, not staff.)
Regarding 3), there are apparently enough contributors who want to describe every scene with enough detail that actors could use it as a script, resulting in way too much verbiage. Personally, I'd rather see a summary listing the number, type, and intensity of scenes. But that's a pipe dream. It's even worse in the Violence section of some action and kung-fu movies... who needs to read 50+ entries to decide if something should be watched by their kids or themselves?
